"Three For The Show" is a 1955 musical comedy remake of "Too Many Husbands". It starred beautiful blonde Betty Grable in her last musical, opposite Jack Lemmon, Gower Champion and Marge Champion. Grable was thirty-nine years old when she made this film and still looked as glamorous as ever. But she soon left behind the reputation as "Hollywood's Top Blonde" after Marilyn Monroe took over her crown. The film also features a singing and dancing Jack Lemmon, which was also Lemmon's first colour film, as well as his first musical.
